Clifford "Cliff" B. Jones FREng[2] (born 1 June 1944) is a British computer scientist, specializing in research into formal methods.[3] He undertook a late DPhil at the Oxford University Computing Laboratory (now the Oxford University Department of Computer Science) under Tony Hoare, awarded in 1981. Prior to that, Jones worked for IBM, between the Hursley and Vienna Laboratories. In Vienna, Jones worked with Peter Lucas, Dines Bjørner and others on the Vienna Development Method (VDM), originally as a method for specifying the formal semantics of programming languages, and subsequently for specifying and verifying programs.[4]

Cliff Jones was a professor at the Victoria University of Manchester in the 1980s and early 1990s, worked in industry at Harlequin for a period, and is now a Professor of Computing Science at Newcastle University. He has been Editor-in-Chief of the Formal Aspects of Computing journal.[5]

As well as formal methods, Jones also has interests in interdisciplinary aspects of computer science and the history of computer science.[6][7]
